essential cellular processes and to test if these distinct forms function
differentially. Although many studies on dynamin have focused on its role in
vesicle formation, it has been proven to be a multi-faceted protein that
participates in numerous cellular processes. Understanding the common
themes between these seemingly distinct processes will elucidate the
importance of the interface between membranes and the cytoskeleton and
how it contributes to cell behaviour.
